Pros

The people in this company bring their A game Every. Single. Day. Their commitment to Affirm's mission is both incredibly inspiring and contagious. What surprised me the most is how welcoming and eager everyone is to share their expertise - zero ego. You are encouraged to be curious and to find ways to learn something new. The fintech space isn't for everyone, but if it's your thing, Affirm needs to be on your radar.

Cons

Startup growing pains, but we are in the process of moving buildings which will eliminate the daily battle for conference rooms.

Pros

Affirm has a lot of talented engineers and high impact, interesting products to work on. The company is remote first and I traveled abroad for a few weeks a year while working.

Cons

Most of the projects were under tight deadlines which put a lot of stress on the engineers. Management didn't really understand what was required of engineers for many of the projects which made it difficult for them to communicate the team's needs upward. My team was short staffed for senior and staff engineers so techincal leadership was also lacking.
